Cast
Plot summary The plot of the movie deviates somewhat from the Hulk origin story in the comic books. Thirty years ago, David Banner was a genetics researcher who experimented on himself, trying to improve on human DNA. Once his wife gives birth, he is concerned on how his modified DNA will affect his son, Bruce Banner. When the government shuts down his genetic research, David Banner disappears. Fast forward to current day, Bruce Banner is a researcher using Nanobots to regenerate living tissue. The nanobots are activated by Gamma radiation. The Military-industrial complex becomes interested in the research to build self-healing soldiers. The father reappears and is interested in the behavior of his son's mutated DNA. An experimental accident exposes Bruce to the radiation. The radiation triggers his mutated DNA so that whenever he gets angry, he transforms into a green colored giant with superhuman strength. The film revolves around the twisted relationship between father and son. Towards the end of the film, his father exposes himself to the same gamma radiation that Bruce was bombarded with and is transformed into a powerful energy being that is capable of absorbing the physical properties of anything it touches. In some ways, he is a fusion of the Hulk's comic book villains Absorbing Man and Zzaax. The Hulk fights his father in this form and eventually defeats him. The film was not able to garner the popularity of the comic book or the TV series, and thus is widely considered a "flop". External links
